DiFX: A Software Correlator for Very Long Baseline Interferometry Using Multiprocessor Computing Environments
We describe the development of an FX-style correlator for very long baseline interferometry (VLBI), implemented in software and intended to run in multiprocessor computing environments, such as large clusters of commodity machines (Beowulf clusters) or computers specifically designed for high-performance computing, such as multiprocessor shared-memory machines. We outline the scientific and pra...
متن کاملEfficient Weighting: A More Powerful Test for Cross-Sectional Anomalies
Many researchers seek factors that predict the cross-section of stock returns. The standard methodology sorts stocks according to their factor scores into quantiles and forms a corresponding long-short portfolio. Such a course of action ignores any information on the covariance matrix of stock returns. Historically, it has been difficult to estimate the covariance matrix for a large universe of...
متن کاملRobust Software - No More Excuses
Software developers identify two main reasons why software systems are not made robust: performance and practicality. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of general techniques to improve robustness that are practical and yield high performance. We present data from treating three systems to improve robustness by a factor of 5 or more, with a measured performance penalty of under 5% in near...
متن کاملFlexible, Robust, and Efficient Human Speech Recognition1
In describing human performance in sound perception, in word recognition, in speech understanding, and in dialogue handling, we generally test human limits under controlled conditions and try to understand the underlying mechanisms, however, the human system itself has already been built by nature. In speech and language technology we would like to equal, or perhaps even outrank, human performa...
متن کاملFlexible, Robust, and Efficient Human Speech Processing
Present-day speech technology systems try to perform equally well or preferably even better than humans under specific conditions. For more complex tasks machines frequently show degraded performance, because their flexibility, robustness and efficiency is lower than that of humans. In order to better understand the system limitations and perhaps further improve system performance, one can try ...
